It is my first time working with MDX in JPivot, I have a Date level (Format: YYYY-MM-dd) and I have to do some queries based on the year or month of this date. I did not find a way to extract this separately.
This is my query :
select
[Person].[job].Members ON COLUMNS,
[WorkDate].[Date].Members ON ROWS
from [Work];
Is there a way to do it?
Thank you in advance!
If the [Workdate] hierarchy has Year and Month levels, you can access those by using
[Workdate].CurrentMember.Parent.Parent.Name
(assuming Year is the grand-parent level of Date)
or
Ancestor( [Workdate].CurrentMember, [Workdate].[Year]).Name
If you don't have a Year/Month/Date hierarchy then you'll need to break the date string into bits using [Workdate].CurrentMember.Name and string functions.

I have a dataset with the structure below.
I want to calculate a monthly average of the views.
I attempted to calculate the yearly frequency with the following code and I believe it is correct
SELECT
EXTRACT (YEAR FROM TO_DATE("date",'Month YYYY') ) AS "year",
AVG("views")
FROM talks
GROUP BY EXTRACT (YEAR FROM TO_DATE("date",'Month YYYY') )
ORDER BY "year" DESC
When it comes to the monthly analysis I have the problem that there several records for the same month in a year and there several years with the same months (in reality the dataset has information for many years - this a reduced version).
How can I go to implement this?
If you want the average per month then just group by your current date field.
If you want the average per month regardless of year then you would have to extract the month part of the current date field and group by that.
But your date field now appears to be having string data type; it would be better to use proper date data type. Then your analysis would be much easier, more flexible, better performing.
I am trying to dynamically get the dates, starting from begging of month to current date using SSAS Tabular - DAX, I have tried many date functions but I couldn't end up with solution, so is there any idea to share pls ?
The following DAX function will return a table of DATES for each day from the start of the current month through today:
DatesMTD = CALENDAR(DATE(YEAR(TODAY()), MONTH(TODAY()), 1), TODAY())
To be able to filter the dates for the first 10 days, create a calculated column that identifies as a date in this range
1st to 10th Date = If(Day([Date]) <11,1,0)
This can then be used to either filter out the dates past the 10th of each month
For example, if I have a data set including two columns, one which shows the month as a number and the other which shows the year (result of grouping my data using GROUP BY), I want to add another column called 'Days in the month' which will display the number of days in the respective month. Is there a way I can do this? Is there some function I can add in the SELECT clause?
I want to do this since there are further calculations I need to do with that number for each row.
In SQL Server 2012+, you can use:
select day(eomonth(datecol))
eomonth() gets the last day of the month. day() just returns the day of the month -- the number of days in the month, in this case.
For older SQL Server versions, I use the following:
DAY(DATEADD(MONTH, DATEDIFF(MONTH, -1, date_column)- 1, -1))
Much less elegant than the previous answer, but functional.
I have a set of data which includes an account #, and a fiscal end date. The fiscal end date does not always match the calendar year. I need to take the given fiscal end date and generate the quarters based on it. For example, if fiscal end date equals 6/31 then the first quarter would be 7/01 thru 9/30, second would be 10/1 thru 12/31, etc.
The only way I can currently think to do this would be a very long and complicated if/then structure. Any help making something more efficient would be greatly appreciated.
You can use DATEADD() function
select convert(varchar(10),dateadd(day,1,'6/25/2016'),101) as startdate,
convert(varchar(10),dateadd(month,3,dateadd(day,1,'6/25/2016')),101) as enddate
Result will be like:
I am using datepart function in SP. It is used to compare week and year of specified date.
Now my query arise as new year starts. I have one table called 'Task' and it is storing tasks date wise. Now When I execute SP with DATEPART(YY,'2016-01-05') . It is giving proper 2016's data. But I execute it with DATEPART(ISOWK,'2016-01-05') , it is giving 2015's data also with 2016's data.
I want data from 28th dec,2015 to 2nd jan,2016. Data of the week. And I am not able get data of 1st and 2nd Jan in that. Please help me with this.
Thanks,
ISOWK return the week number
You are trying to get date from 2015-12-28 to 2016-01-02.
The week number of 2015-12-28 is 53 and 2016-01-02 is 53
If you already have your start and end dates decided then you could use a simple query as shown below to filter on date range.
When mentioning date string in your query make sure you stick to this format :yyyymmdd which SQL Server will automatically understand. You don't need DATEPART to get records between two dates.
Query for filtering on a date range
SELECT TaskID, TaskDescription
FROM Tasks
where TaskDate between '20151228' and '20160102'
Another query you can use for date range filtering
SELECT TaskID, TaskDescription
FROM Tasks
where TaskDate >= '20151228' and TaskDate <= '20160102'
